THE HOME I LEFT BEHIND

Poem No. 15, 30th november 2024

pink flowers








The Home I left behind

Is the softer edge of a sword I sheathed

One that pervades my world louder than my words

Yet whose handle I wield in silence

When the phantom memories rain on me

 

But the house still calls out

Fanfaidh mé! Fanfaidh mé…*

I will wait as well – until the time traveller loops back

Healing us from a door closed to love

 

The Home I left behind

Is the cradle of a sweet sixteenth

It hides beneath the colder clouds

In patience and candour, dropping silver linings

In hope that our Star filament will rejoin

 

Even when the house calls out

Fanfaidh mé! Fanfaidh mé…*

I will wait as well – until our stories unravel

Healing us from the fractures of our bond.


*I will wait in irish
